Management of abdominal gas leakage from surgical trocars in laparoscopic surgery: a preclinical study

Conclusions: We confirmed gas leakage from trocars during device traffic. The scale of leakage increased with high intra-abdominal pressure and with the use of exhausted trocars. Current protection against gas leakage may not be sufficient and new surgical safety measures and device development may be needed in the future.PMID:37288765 | DOI:10.1080/13645706.2023.2211661
